‘WHITE BIRD’ is an artwork proposed by Javier Arribas and Blanca Regina, focussing on the creation of moving, interactive light sculptures, inspired by a classic myths.: The recuperation of the myth in the digital era.

‘White Bird’ re-thinks the myth of Daedalus and his son Icarus. Daedalus made wax wings and feathers for his son so that he could escape from prison. Daedalus warned him not to fly too close to the sun because the wax would melt and not to fly too low because the sea would wet the feathers. But the boy flew high, trying to get to heaven, the wax wings melted and he fell into the sea.

The myth represents the human desire to have what cannot be had and how we can perish in pursuit of the unattainable.
